YZi Labs strategically invests in Aspect In last month's Panews interview, Ella Zhang @ ellazhang516, the head of YZi Labs, shared a set of their current investment philosophy. Simply put, YZi Labs was formerly known as Binance Labs, which mainly invested in Web3 projects and was an internal VC of Binance. However, with the promotion of CZ and He Yi, it has completed its "evolution". Now, YZi Labs is no longer limited to Web3, but has set its sights on AI, biotechnology, and other fields with greater vision that are more likely to reshape the world. She said that the biggest difference from traditional VCs is that YZi Labs does not have the pressure to exit, nor is it in a hurry to "make quick money". As one of the core assets of CZ's personal family office, its approach is more like: using long-term capital to accompany long termists. Of course, the key point is that CZ @ cz-binance is already as wealthy as an enemy country and really not short of money, so when investing in projects, this institution focuses more on vision, trend structure, and people. Ella also mentioned an interesting metaphor: YZi's investment is like a "barbell layout", while deeply empowering around the investment portfolio In this context, YZi Labs strategically invests in Aspecta @ aspecta_ai If you haven't heard of it yet, in simple terms, this project is doing something that many people know has problems, but no one is seriously solving: On chain price discovery of illiquid assets It sounds a bit abstract, but to put it simply, what Aspecta is doing is making some non-standard assets visible, priced, and tradable. For example, if you have obtained some Pre TGE token shares, participated in a private equity round, or have unsold tokens, lock up tokens, Web2 private equity, or even RWA in hand, these assets generally have a common problem: they cannot be priced, cannot circulate freely, and often carry a bunch of clips and unlocking conditions. But you actually have no idea how much it is worth now, let alone how it will circulate. The BuildKey gameplay mechanism provided by Aspecta is to transform these previously opaque, non-standard, and non tradable "Alpha assets" into voucher based assets that can be verified and priced on the chain. Can trade, pair, and participate fairly. For example, Robinhood recently launched private equity platforms for star companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI in a similar model, allowing more people to place bets in advance before IPOs. Aspecta has already been tested and implemented in projects such as Sign, Bulla, Codatta, Solayer, etc. It has truly pushed the market to solve the problem of pricing opacity through on chain methods. Compared to Robin Good, Aspecta is only completely on chain, more standardized, and more open to collaboration. And YZi invested in it precisely because it saw the true potential behind this matter, which could become the underlying tool for most projects in the next cycle. Aspecta is establishing standards for "non-standard markets" and providing liquidity for "illiquid assets". This investment is essentially YZi Labs paving the way for the entire future 'on chain financial asset market', with Aspect being a key piece of the puzzle it is betting on. website: https://aspecta.ai/
